STD.. When?!

When is a good time to send out the STD's?! I have friends and family and Europe and I know it will be kind of expensive for them to come over to Mexico to attend our wedding.. Therefor I would like to give them as much notice as I possibly can so they have time so save up money. At the same time I don't want to send them out too soon either.

I was wondering the same thing myself. I am planning on getting married in December 2010 and I am going to send the STD's 1 year prior to the date that should give the relatives plenty of time of start saving their money

I sent STD's as soon as we booked our resort, which was about 9 months. I wanted to give people as much time as possible to plan and save. I wanted to send about a year in advance, but we couldn't book with our resort yet. I don't think a year is too soon at all for a DW.

As soon as we have the resort booked and confirmed, I'll start printing off my std's and send them out asap after that...i'm hoping there will be a 2-3 month gap between them receiving them, and them needing to pay their deposit to book their place.
